Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
After a successful first event, TORCH is running a second Writing for the Stage workshop on Saturday 1 February – and we have four spaces remaining!
Led by playwright, actor and artistic director Sudha Bhucha, researchers and students from Oxford University will be paired with young people from a local youth group. Together, they’ll explore character development and world building, before producing short pieces of writing for the stage based on, or in response to, their own life experiences.
Participants found the first workshop inspirational and the sharing of insights and experiences with young people particularly valuable.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop stage writing skills and to gain experience working with a professional practitioner and with young people in the arts.
The workshop takes place in Radcliffe Humanities from 9.45am – 3.30pm. Lunch will be provided and any travel costs reimbursed. This opportunity is open to research and taught students from all departments, faculties and schools.
If you’d like to sign up, or have any questions, please contact Dr Hannah Coleman Manktelow (hannah.manktelow@humanities.ox.ac.uk).
